Timor Hornhl of nurnn and appoar
inr. In tho Ihhuo of January .11, 1025,
wo gather that It Is tho concenntiB of
opinion of prominent IiiihIiicba mon
of llurtiB and of pTnctlcally all homo
toader of llarnoy County that tho
wholoBalo polRonlnK of vnluahlo fur
honrlng anlmnlB, coyoto In particu
lar, nn hoiiiK carried on by Govern
ment ihuntorn employed Jointly ly
tho Slato and Tedoral Government,
must ceano at onco. Wo nro told 1n
tlifn article which Indeed la a raro
contribution to modern fiction, that
tho fur Industry of Jlurnoy County Ib
tho londliiR ono and that It nooflB
protection rather than doBtructlou.
It nppearw that It Is tho boiler of the
prominent buslnoBB men of Hums
that thoralBliiB of coyotes In llarnoy
County Is a clean cash business and
that as n roMilt of tho multlludo of
coyotes raised In this county fur buy
ers pay out to Individual trapperH
obout $100,000 per yoor and tho
liuslnoss IntereBtB of llnTony County
apparently are not Bolnj; to do any
thing that will take away from thorn
or their homesteaders this source of
Income which, to a poor homestead
er, comes as a wlndfnll nt a time of
year when the "wolf" Is at tho door.
Tho conrlhutor of this article, .mip
posed to bo an ntlornoy of Burns who
lo employed by tho trnppors to pro
tect tholr Industry, states that tho
nnnttal loss to sheepmen of one por
cent of their flocks Ib not suniclont
reason for tholr paying taxes for hir
ed trappers. This ntatement Is In
keeping with most of the others
made In the article and Is a pure mis
representation. An a matter of fuel,
the one per cent loss on the sheep of
Ilnrnoy County from Predatory ani
mals per nunum would amount to
enough to employ ten times as many
trnppors ns nro now employed by tho
cooperating agencies In that county.
Moreover, tho damage done by n
coyote, figuring an average life time,
amounts to $50.00 according lo nn
estlmato mado by the bureau of bio
logical Survey. With our friends In
Harney County protecting tho coyote
so that thol rhomeMtoadors can trap
him and sell his fur for from 14.00
to $8 00 when by so doing the snoop
man and the homesteader himself

JfiO.OO, a policy Is established which
If perslstod In will not only bankrupt
that section but will likewise hold
back the ultlmato control of preda
tory anlmnls In the stale of Oregon.
In addition to tho fact that wo are
Interested In tho sheep and wool
growing Industry of Harney County,
wo nro also concerned lest tho coy
otes that are encouraged to breed or

homesteader und tho baals of his
bread and butter and by accident
iiroM nver Into ndjolnlng county
linos where coyotes are not so well
thought of and more vigorously
nought after. Outside of tho Interest
that we feel for the sheep and wool
growing Industry of Harney County
we are perfectly willing that nil of
the coyotes possible bo raised In or
der t lint homesteaders, who admitt
edly cannot make a go of homentend
Ing and who cannot compel stockmen
to buy them out at fabulous prices,
may faavu some mentis of supporting
themselves provided Harney Coun
ty officials will agree to keep said
coyotes within tho limits of Harney
County.
To he perfectly frank and to the
point, we deem the position taken by
so-called leading business men of
Hums to be not only positively ab
surd and foolish but prepusfurous
and very dangerous. Under such a
plan tho homesteader himself Is of
ten the heaviest loner. Coyotes are
no respeclors of persons. Tho home
iitoailor'n pig or lamb or turkey pro
vides III in with a means of bodily
comfort (nlte as union as tho lamb
belonging to the iiheepmiiu and the
loss Ih greater in proportion. The
uggregnte deurease in gross returns
from tho snle of farm produce In
nny county In Ocrgon through for
aging by coyotes Is enough to pay the
total state cost of all forty hunters
now being employed by the Livestock
Sanitary Hoard.
The hunter system in effect In the
State of Orogou Is not only getting
results as Is attested by the objeo
tlou being voiced by the trappers
through tholr attorney In Harney
County, but It Is also the economical
nud correct method. Those who criti
cise tho Covernment hunter invari
ably over-estimate the cost of catch
ing coyotoH by these trained men who
work through traps and poison.
There are very few hunters on the
payroll of the Livestock Sanitary
Hoard who are not more than self
supporting during that period of the
year when furs are salable If It
costs the Stato something to got tho
coyotes nt that time of year when
furs are not salable it is worth tho
money nud Is a sound Investment so
long as (ho cost Is less than tho
damago douo by the coyoto caught.
It Ih Impossible to etslmato with
accuracy tho por head cost of catch
ing coyotes by the hunter and poison
system because it Is believed that
only about one out of throe coyotes
destroyed is secured us evidence by
the Government hunter. That tho
system Is proving satisfactory Ih
shown by tho fact that every county
